FAUCET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 288,769, dated November 20, 1883. Application inea June 1s, laas. (No model.)

ful Improvements in Faucets, of which the following is a specication.

My invention relates to that class of faucets in which the valve is connected to a crank within the casing; and it consists in the construction fully described hereinafter, whereby Y' faucets of this character are rendered available as basin-faucets and for other purposes. Y

In the drawings, Figure 1 representsin longitudinal section a basin-faucet illustrating my improvement. Fig. 2 is a modification.

The casingA of the faucet is of any suitable construction, and adapted for connection to either vertical or horizontal supply-pipes, as the occasion may require, and is provided with an annular seat, w, to which is fitted a valve, D, the stem B of which receives the crank end of a spindle, G, extending vinto the casing. The spindleG extends through a suitable packing-box, so that it may be turned to rotate the crank and carry the valve to and from its seat` without the passage of water around the spindle t-o the outside of the'casing.

Heretofore valve-faucets having the construction above described have had solid spindles provided with handles, and casings with nozzles at the outer ends.

To adapt the faucet for use'with wash-basins and for other purposes, I close the outer end of .1), with the spindle.

the casing, as shown in the drawings, and use a tubular spindle, either open at the lower end, Fig. I, or with perforations i, Fig. 2, through which Water can pass through the interior to `the Outer,end,which is provided with or formed into a suitable nozzle.

In some cases the handle by which the spindle is turned may be hollow and constitute the nozzle of a faucet, as in the drawings, where the nozzle I is connected by a hollow sphere, As thus constructed the swinging of the nozzle I to one side or the other turns the spindle and carries the valve to and from its seat.

Without limiting myself to the precise construction and arrangement of parts shown, I claiin- 1. The combination, in a faucet, of a casing, A, provided with the seat x, a hollow spindle, G, having a crank end within the casing, and

ya valve, D, provided with a stem, B, receiving the crank end of the spindle, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination, with the casing A, valve D, hollow crank-spindle G, connected with the valve, and nozzle I, communicating with the spindle, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specication in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
